Remote Jobs

I landed 3 job offers at unicorn startups, without using job boards like LinkedIn & Indeed. Here's how I found thousands of job postings that aren’t posted on major job platforms: When I first started applying to jobs, I only searched on popular job boards like LinkedIn and Indeed – just like everyone else. But then I realized: The jobs on those sites are sourced from ATS platforms, and I was missing out on thousands of openings that weren’t uploaded (especially from startups)… After doing some research, I found a hack that lets you find jobs by filtering for specific ATS websites.  Here's how it works: 1. Go to Google or another search engine. 2. Search for a popular ATS site by typing “site:[ATS website URL]” ↳ E.G. "site:greenhouse.io". This will show you a list of the jobs that use Greenhouse as their ATS. 3. Use Boolean Search to filter for job titles, locations, or keywords. ↳ If you use quotation marks, you’ll search for a specific keyword on the website.  ↳ If you use a minus sign, you'll filter out that keyword (to get rid of jobs you don’t want to see). For example, here’s a full search query for entry-level SWE jobs on Greenhouse: 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲:𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲.𝗶𝗼 "𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿" "𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆" -𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 -𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 -𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 I tried this search yesterday, and found over 700 jobs from companies that are ACTIVELY hiring for this role. Hope you enjoy :) P.S. I’m currently compiling a list of the best ATS systems to search for. If you want the list, comment “ATS” below and I’ll update this post once it’s done!  P.P.S. You’ll still need to fill out the application once you find it… here’s a free extension that autofills your job applications: https://lnkd.in/g--Qjmtx

I was promoted 3x: Sr. Manager - Vice President while working remotely from home. Prior to working from home, I remained an individual contributor for 10 years. Perhaps it was easier to find my stride of excellence with limited distractions, no longer spending time talking about someone's dog who could jump through rings of fire. Working from home allowed me to fully tap into my flow state. (yes, I know remote work is NOT for everyone) If I was looking for a remote job in 2024, here's what I would start my search 6 months in advance: (this strategy also works for my clients) 1. Dedicate 1-2 hours daily on my search strategy :  -Create a job tracker  -Get clear on the job titles  -Focus on becoming an early applicant  -Interview me against job descriptions  -Ensure those roles are in demand by conducting a search  -Setting up alerts on all major job boards including niche remote sites 2. Use 𝐊𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 to level up my resume and discover my ideal career path and save $$ by doing my own resume.  -Try their AI Career Map here: https://lnkd.in/dnhuq3B4 -Then put my resume on file with staffing agencies 3. Research company culture, values, mission, and vision -Use major company review sites  -Check current stock market standing  -Check to see if there were recent layoffs -Review employees on LinkedIn look for promotion lines 4. Network with current employees & build relationships  -Go to job fairs and networking events  -Set aside a small coffee budget and re-engage warm relationships -Build new non-transactional relationships (ask for nothing to start) 5. Wash, rinse, repeat until I find the perfect remote job fit Remember: Excellence is a PRACTICE. Not a location. #kickresumepartner

Most people go about job searching on LinkedIn the wrong way. They apply through job boards, submit their resume, and wait. By the time they hit “apply,” they’re competing with hundreds of other candidates, and their application gets buried. But there’s a better way to find jobs before they even get posted. Instead of searching for open roles, search for people who are hiring! 1. Go to LinkedIn’s search bar and type phrases like: # We’re hiring a data scientist # Looking for a business analyst # Hiring a marketing intern # Our team is growing, looking for engineers 2. Then, filter by posts. This will show you real-time updates from hiring managers, recruiters, and employees talking about open positions. These are often jobs that haven’t been posted on job boards yet, meaning you have a chance to get in early. 3. Once you find a post that interests you, don’t just send a cold DM. Engage with the post first. Leave a comment, ask a thoughtful question, or add value to the conversation. Then, send a message referencing their post and expressing interest in the role. 4. If you’re applying to a company where you don’t know anyone, look up employees who work there. Find someone in the department and reach out. Instead of asking for a referral right away, ask for insights about the team and culture. People are much more likely to help when you approach them with curiosity rather than just asking for something. This approach works because most hiring happens before a job posting even goes live. The more visible you are and the more proactive you are in engaging with hiring conversations, the better your chances of getting noticed. Have you ever found a job through LinkedIn networking? Would love to hear your experience!

How to find 𝗨𝗦𝗔 & 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻, even if you live outside those countries. I get this question a lot, so let me simplify it in 7 simple steps: Step 1: Use LinkedIn’s job filters (correctly) Go to the Jobs tab and use these filters: → Location: type “Remote” → Country: select United States and Canada → Job Type: Full-time → Work Type: Remote This ensures you’re only seeing roles that are remote and based in North America. Step 2: Use the right keywords In the search bar, try: → “Remote Data Analyst USA” → “Remote Data Scientist Canada” → “Fully remote data engineer” Mix in keywords like: • “Global team” • “Worldwide” • “Remote-first company”    These companies are more likely to accept international applicants. Step 3: Focus on companies that hire globally Target companies known for hiring remote international talent: → Automattic → GitLab → Toptal → Zapier → Deel → Doist → Oyster → Remote.com Search “[Company Name] careers” and look at their hiring policies.  Step 4: Follow hiring managers & recruiters Find hiring managers and tech recruiters in the US/Canada who’ve posted remote jobs. → Like and comment on their posts → Send a warm DM (not a cold pitch) → Stay on their radar These relationships create long-term opportunities. Step 5: Optimize your LinkedIn profile Make your profile location say: → “Open to Remote Roles in USA & Canada” Recruiters search by location. If your profile says “Kenya” or “India,” they might assume relocation is required unless you clearly state you’re looking for remote roles. Step 6: Highlight your timezone + communication skills Companies care about async work and timezone overlap. Add something like: → “Work comfortably across EST & PST” → “Strong async communicator with 4+ years remote experience” Step 7: Prepare your pitch Once you find a job that fits, don’t just apply. → Engage with the company on LinkedIn → Reach out to an employee or the hiring manager → Show how you solve their problems Outreach > blind applications. Start your search today because roles are going fast. P.S. It’s easier if you already have a valid work visa or permit. If you don’t, focus on global-first companies or consider freelancing until you build leverage. ➕ Follow Jaret André for daily data job search strategies 🔔 Hit the bell to get practical tips that actually land offers

I was able to move into a cloud engineering role without a degree. How? These are the 5 things I did 👇🏾 * First I had to make a decision about what role I wanted to learn more about. There are so many cloud roles out there. You just need to find one you are interested in! * Second, I took the job description and my aim was to learn 50-60% of the skills what the role entailed. I realized that if I had 100% of the skills they wanted me to have, I wouldn’t have any growth. * Third, I realize that EXPOSURE = EXPERIENCE. The more I exposed myself to a service, tool or process, the more experience I had with them. This allow me to have a possibility of speaking about my experience in the interviews! * Fourth, I went for the certification that would help me understand my job. Although folks go for a path of certs, you don’t really need it. 1-2 core certs will do the job for the role you are going after! * Fifth step was connecting and showcasing. I would connect to recruiters and managers and showcase my work. I would keep a list of them like an email list to keep them updated with everything I was doing. See the 5th step for most, is the hardest but most IMPORTANT step after you’ve built your skills. We don’t connect with anyone and we don’t keep them aware of what we do. Think about your skills as a service you are selling. In business, you don’t just tell a person one time what you do. You keep showing them how you can solve their problems over and over. Especially if they keep having the same problems (for example role openings) Follow those 5 steps, remember, don’t give up, don’t fee into distractions and stay laser focused on your goals!

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗯𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 🌍💻 Every week, I get the question: “Where do I actually find remote jobs that hire internationally?” Most job boards are full of “remote” roles that really mean remote... but only in one country. 🙄 After relocating from the U.S. to Spain and helping soooo many people land jobs abroad, I know the right opportunities exist—you just need to know where to look and how to position yourself. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝟰 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘄: ✅ 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴.𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗲 – This one's a hidden gem. It uses AI to match you with remote jobs in real time based on your skills.

Great for tech, marketing, and customer support roles. ✅ 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲 – Don’t sleep on this! Just switch to your target country and filter for remote roles. You’ll find a mix of big-name companies and international startups. ✅ 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗝𝗼𝗯𝘀 – If you’re looking for remote roles with European companies, start here.

And yes, I know: -Finding the Right Job is One Thing -Getting Hired is Another. Here’s what I will leave you with: A strong resume, willingness to network, and optimized LinkedIn profile can make all the difference. When applying for global remote jobs, make sure you highlight: ✅ Remote work skills (async communication, time zone flexibility) ✅ International experience (worked with global teams? Say it loud!) ✅ Independence & self-motivation (remote companies want people who can get things done) 🚨 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Pay attention to local hiring requirements when applying abroad. Some companies will expect a CV instead of a resume, and formatting it correctly can impact whether you even get an interview. #global #remote #careers

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 ‘𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱’ 𝗝𝗼𝗯𝘀 Today, I spoke to a VP who was hiring for an open position that wasn’t posted on common job boards (e.g., LinkedIn). It was only listed on the company’s career site (through their ATS). Here’s how you can easily find these 'unlisted' job postings: Search Google with this: Site: {insert ATS domain} | {insert another ATS domain} “{insert job title}” AND “remote” Example: site:GREENHOUSE.IO | site:lever.co "CUSTOMER SUCCESS MANAGER” AND “REMOTE” Commonly used ATS domains: - icims .com - greenhouse .io - lever .co - jobvite .io - ashbyhq .com - smartrecruiters .com - myworkdayjobs .com Filter your Google search results by post date for the most recent posting.

Use these job boards to find jobs at small companies (LinkedIn doesn’t let you filter by company size): - Startup Jobs - Wellfound - BuiltIn Don’t forget to set up job alerts to get notified when new roles are posted! 📍 Which do you prefer? 1. 100% Remote; or 2. Hybrid (there’s no 100% office option because no one wants that) Sharing is caring - if you found this helpful, share it with someone that it could help. 💌 #remotejobs #remotework #remotejobboards

Sometimes thinking outside the box with your remote resume is exactly the right answer. When it's done right, your remote work resume opens doors before you even apply. Last month, Mario sent 30+ applications out with exactly zero replies. After we transformed his resume, he had 4 interviews lined up within 2 weeks. Did you know? 80%+ of remote applications get rejected in the first 60 seconds because they're missing what actually matters to remote teams. The old resume approach doesn't work: // Generic job descriptions // Basic work history // Standard responsibilities Meanwhile, candidates getting interviews are: ✅ Showing clear remote work wins ✅ Highlighting team leadership ✅ Proving they deliver results Here's 4 must-have elements for your remote resume: ✅ Show Measurable Impact - "Led 3 projects across 4 time zones with 100% deadline accuracy" - "Managed virtual team of 8 with 95% engagement scores" - "Created workflow system saving 12 hours weekly" ✅ Virtual Communication Proof - "Built knowledge base used by 200+ team members" - "Streamlined onboarding process, cutting training time 40%" - "Initiated daily standup system adopted company-wide" ✅ Remote Tech Stack - "Mastered 6 collaboration tools in 30 days" - "Trained team on virtual project management systems" - "Automated 5 key processes using modern tools" ✅ Self-Driven, Independent Achievement - "Exceeded targets by 127% while working independently" - "Launched mentorship program with 15 participants" - "Created team culture playbook now used globally" Landing remote roles isn't about years of experience—it's about proving you deliver results anywhere.

When I was recruiting at a startup, I didn’t have LinkedIn Recruiter or fancy sourcing tools. So I got creative and turned to Google. There’s a trick called X-ray search that recruiters use to find talent. But job seekers can flip it to find roles that aren’t showing up on LinkedIn or job boards. It works because you’re searching company job boards directly specifically sites hosted by Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby which are the three most common platforms used by startups, tech companies and design forward teams to post jobs. Here’s how it works: Say you’re a Product Designer looking for remote roles. Pop this into Google: site:jobs.lever.co OR site:jobs.greenhouse.io OR site:ashbyhq.com "product designer" AND "remote" You’ll get real-time openings, straight from company career pages. Looking for something location-based and you’re a Social Media Manager in LA, use this: site:jobs.greenhouse.io OR site:jobs.lever.co "social media manager" AND "Los Angeles" You can plug in any title, industry or location that matters to you like “brand designer,” “UX internship,” or “marketing. coordinator” This is how I found amazing candidates when I had zero tools. Now I’m sharing it with you because the best jobs aren’t always on the front page. Try it and let me know what you find!
